Autumn Term Well Underway!

We've really hit the ground running, as usual, this year. The Head Girl Team are out of school tomorrow at Withington School for Girls at a GSA conference, the Sixth Form information evening is on tomorrow evening and UVI girls are busy getting their personal statements ready. Sixteen LVI girls have put themselves forward for positions as prefects within every year group and introduced themselves to their forms this morning. Many of our UVI and LVI girls have organised either work experience or charity work on Wednesday afternoons while others are enjoying the opportunities to take part in PE lessons where everything from yoga to kick-boxing will be available throughout the year. Our house captains, along with their deputies, are busy organising the next house event to be judged: the house notice boards. We have a charities prefect and an eco-warrior plus an 'overall organiser of the LVI prefects' warrior all proudly sporting their badges and - alongside all of this - Mrs Cheetham and Mrs Perls have mentored every girl in UVI to ensure that each student is aware of her UCAS points position. Predicted grades sheets have been distributed so that the girls can make realistic and timely choices once they have openly discussed with staff the likelihood of achieving their aspirational (and realistic) grades. The sixth form tutor team has now met twice since we arrived back on 28 August - it's been great to work with old friends and to welcome new faces too! All in all, everyone is settling in well and we particularly welcome new girls to our Sixth Form - hopefully everyone's settling in. The new term has certainly started with a bang!
